The Metal Slug series was on Neo Geo, but there's already a collection available.

Definitely, especially in the first years of its life Neo-Geo had a lot of great non-fighting games.  There were action games like Magician Lord, sports games like Baseball Stars Professional and Top Players Golf, even first-person games like Super Spy and Crossed Swords.  Also there were a ton of awesome shooting-action games like Shock Troopers and a little series you may have heard of, Metal Slug.  Beat-em-up games were also fun on Neo with stuff like Sengoku.  So yes, tons of great games for it!  Although I'd have preferred if they went lighter on the fighting games since I don't like too many of them.

Neo Geo games will be available from September, in Japan.

There is another neogeo game that is pretty intresting and it isn't a fighter, beat-em up, space shooter or sports game. Its called Crossed Swords and plays a little like Dragon Quest Swords but its third person and its a little more fast paced.

Here is a youtube video:

Hopefully we see this on the virtual console.

Fatal Fury Special is coming to xbox live next wednesday

I'm more intereted in World Heroes than Fatal Fury.

I'll be picking that up when it comes out on Virtual Console.

Could this be that so called, "September Surprise" we were all raving about a few days ago? At least for Japan anyway

 Street Hoops, Windjammers , 1945 strikers ,Metal Slug , Blue Journey ,Neo Bomberman, Puzzle Bubble 2 etc ...

So Yes !
